Vedclass · Answer

(A) The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by $\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}$, where $T_1$ is the source temperature and $T_2$ is the sink temperature in Kelvin.Given $\eta = \frac{1}{6}$, so $1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{1}{6} \implies \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{5}{6} \implies T_2 = \frac{5}{6} T_1$.When the sink temperature is reduced by $62 \ K$ (a change of $62^{\circ} C$ is equivalent to $62 \ K$), the new efficiency $\eta' = 2\eta = 2 	imes \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$.Thus, $1 - \frac{T_2 - 62}{T_1} = \frac{1}{3} \implies \frac{T_2 - 62}{T_1} = \frac{2}{3}$.Substituting $T_2 = \frac{5}{6} T_1$: $\frac{\frac{5}{6} T_1 - 62}{T_1} = \frac{2}{3} \implies \frac{5}{6} - \frac{62}{T_1} = \frac{4}{6} \implies \frac{62}{T_1} = \frac{1}{6} \implies T_1 = 372 \ K$.Converting to Celsius: $T_1 = 372 - 273 = 99^{\circ} C$.Then $T_2 = \frac{5}{6} 	imes 372 = 310 \ K$. Converting to Celsius: $T_2 = 310 - 273 = 37^{\circ} C$.Therefore, the temperatures are $99^{\circ} C$ and $37^{\circ} C$.

$A$ reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat supplied into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ} C$, the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are
